The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Knocks In the Head

Like a dull needle to the head
It scorches the veins 
Violently raiding
The neck can not turn
With the kitchen above
Pain scowls
Drawing to the temples 
Running to the forehead
The bridge screams
At the side of the nose
With veins throbbing
Ready to burst and bleed

Disrupted, the power source weakens
And the body now hangs
By the spine, limbs run dead
The heart beats loud
Heavy but slow

The blood rushes
At the high
You wouldn't believe; 
A thin girl
With pressure that screams
Death
At any day
For as so the blood reaches

Shivering body
Useless for walks
Tightens the lungs
With airs sucked in
It's release is unlikely
Like an under weighted model

Lights to the eyes
Brighter than any
In those past days
Seem to laugh today
Blinding the sight
And causing veins to fight
Pounding through skin
The temples keep them back

With it's speed
Sound strikes the drums
Causing sights of blur

Resting away makes it worse
Veins pressed to the pillow
Throb by the weight of the head
And it's compression by the pillow

Tossing and turning does not save the pain
So the pills are taken
To make them die away
By the hour that passes
Weakness is still there 
But the pain no longer exists 
Only for now
